Good priests forgotten in attacks on Church

IT IS only right and proper that the failures of bishops and others should be highlighted and they be held to account for not dealing responsibly with preventing the abuse of young people and correcting abuses when they occurred.

However, a consequence of this saga in the revelation of the failures of church leaders has generated into a frenzy of emotive, one-sided, distorted criticism of the Catholic church in the media, practically castigating the church as being a danger to society.

This is a very dangerous development. Priests and religious have been and are attacked and abused in public.
